The aim of this article is to inform readers of the author's reflections on the experience of transferring university-based research into the commercial sector, and of the processes and strategies employed when preparing for impact in so doing. Concepts for the transfer are illustrated by the author's reflection on aspects that arose during the birthing and subsequent start-up of a university spin-off, Pathways2Wellbeing, a form of reflection-on-action. This is the vehicle for the adaption required to transfer research into the delivery of a specialised clinic in the United Kingdom National Health Service for people with medically unexplained, persistent, bodily symptoms such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and chronic pain. It is hoped that the article will provide readers with an insight into how knowledge transfer can take place through engagement with stakeholders to create an exchange of knowledges to result in impact on health service policy for service users, despite the challenges, and the enablers that facilitated this process. The reflections on the process of knowledge transfer and the implications for impact are underpinned by relevant theory.
本文旨在告知读者作者对将大学研究成果转化为商业领域的经历的思考，以及在为此准备产生影响时所采用的流程和策略。作者对一家大学衍生企业Pathways2Wellbeing诞生及后续启动过程中出现的各个方面的反思，阐释了转化的概念，这是一种行动反思。这是将研究成果转化为英国国民医疗服务体系中为患有如纤维肌痛、慢性疲劳和慢性疼痛等医学上无法解释的持续性身体症状的人群提供专科诊所服务所需的适应手段。希望本文能让读者深入了解尽管存在挑战，但知识转移如何能够通过与利益相关者的参与来实现知识交流，从而对服务用户的医疗服务政策产生影响，以及促成这一过程的推动因素。对知识转移过程的反思及其对影响的意义有相关理论作为支撑。
